Tom Cable isn’t out in Oakland, but that hasn’t stopped speculation about who might replace him. The latest name out of left field: Steve Mariucci.
He’s certainly a long shot, but his name was mentioned separately by two of our favorite writers in the Bay Area in the span of two days.
Mooch passes some Al Davis tests: He’s an offensive mind and he’s worked with some of the Raiders staff before. He reportedly has a healthy respect for Davis.
“Word is getting out” that Mooch may want back in to coaching, according to Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune. There won’t be many NFL job offers coming his way.
With all that said, we still wonder if Mariucci wants to take on a rebuilding project under a questionable personnel evaluator. That didn’t work out so great last time.
